Guide to Living in Iowa City

As a relatively small university town, Iowa City is a great place for international students to live.  The pages within this section have a wide variety of information that will help you locate resources you need to make the transition as smooth as possible.  Follow the links to the left for information about your arrival in Iowa City, learning English, news sources, health & safety, travel, housing, schools, food & restaurants, recreation & entertainment, and transportation.

The city government of Iowa City also has a web page of information that is useful to students who will be living off campus.
